This Heat Technique Amplifies Your Immune System's Attack on Cancer

So if you look at many different cultures around the world, they've got sweat lodges or saunas or something like that.

They've got ways to ritually elevate body temperature.

And elevating your core body temperature isn't just something that gives you peace of mind.

It isn't just something that feels good.

It's something that directly stimulates your immune system.

And it, it took quite a while for folks to realize that that was a two-way street, that, yes, your body creates a fever when you're sick, but your immune system also responds to that fever.

Having a higher temperature actually changes the membranes of your cells.

It changes the way that your immune system cells sense and recognize stimuli.

It makes them a little more pro-inflammatory, which is great if you want your immune system to recognize and deal with any leftover cancer cells, any metastases, any bits hiding that weren't taken care of by your initial treatment.

Now, there are a number of details that are important for this.

One is how hot, because you gotta get hot enough to actually make a difference for your immune function, but you don't wanna get so hot that you actually cause damage.

So for multiple different pieces, they all come together at about the same temperature, about 39 degrees centigrade, or for those of you who are metric, that's about 103 degrees Fahrenheit.

So find a hot tub that's at 39 centigrade or 103 Fahrenheit.

Go have a good soak.

Set up your tub for that temperature.

Find a way to, to get to 103, and hang out there as long as you can without feeling uncomfortable, without feeling lightheaded.

Bring water with you.

Take care of yourself.

Don't push it.

And you wanna get your entire body temperature up to 103 and hold it there for as long as you can comfortably and easily, 'cause there are a couple of things that happen when you do that.

Again, one is that you change the way that signals are sensed and processed by your immune system, and it just slightly tips the balance away from immunosuppression or immunoregulatory events over to inflammation.

And again, if you're trying to get your immune system to recognize and attack any leftover cancer cells, this is fantastic for you.

The other piece of this is when temperatures go up in your core, when your cells are making new proteins, it's a little harder for them to fold.

It's a little harder for them to package themselves appropriately.

You get a little more protein in an unfolded spaghetti string mess state, and your cells don't like that.
